BBC's Sherlock: Holmes/Watson links (will be continually updated)

[tzikeh]

So, yeah, I suck at remembering to delicious tag things, or whatever, so I'm just gonna paste shit into this post, wholesale.

Three things that will always be true of my recs:

1) John/Sherlock or gen stories only--though probably mostly John/Sherlock (I'm not interested in other pairings. Not a judgment--just my taste). Sometimes explicit, sometimes not.
2) No main characters die (except maybe Moriarty from time to time).
3) I can take a lot of angst and injury in a story, so long as things end well (and so long as the angst and/or injury isn't ridiculously prolonged to a point that beggars belief).

Like Leaves & Kings--All Things Must Fall

My Phone's on Vibrate for You (it's not what it sounds like). Seven parts, finished work.

You're a Soldier, I'm a Warzone
You're a Soldier, I'm a Warzone: Episode Two

Cu Sylvatica
Knot Theory, the sequel to Cu Sylvatica

Semper Fidelis (Not something I normally would have thought I'd get into, but I *so* dig it. It's a WIP, but it's now at a point where I feel quite safe reccing it, because you can feel that it's coming to a close, and you kind of know how it will end.)

If I Never...

Winter's Delights

Lay Me Down--a sequel to The Shape I Found You In. Lay Me Down is very much a direct continuation of the events in Shape, and repurposes several lines, but Lay Me Down is, IMO, a much stronger story. So, I'm reccing them like this, because if someone read Shape based on my rec, and then didn't continue on to Lay Me Down because they didn't think Shape was all that great, they'd be missing out. So, obviously, read Shape first, but expect the sequel to surpass it. I hope that makes sense.

Theory and Practice Fusion fic. Sherlock's characters, His Dark Materials' universe. It takes place in modern-day London. No characters from HDM appear, and you don't really need to know the series to enjoy the story, though it is more fun for those who do know it.

Burning Up Through Your Veins

Monster

Without Loss of Generality

The ongoing "Paradox" series (links posted as updates appear). This series... how do I explain. As it goes on, it gets further and further away from any kind of canonical interpretations of the characters, to the point where they're basically unrecognizable w/r/t the series itself, but the author writes a compelling Sherlock Holmes/John Watson Not Like The Ones We're Watching. It's one of those kinds of fanfiction stories I usually don't like at all: it's very clear that the author has specific and well-drawn versions of the characters who are nothing like the ones in the show, but she wants them to be played by the same actors. Normally, I stay away from things like this, but because the stories, in and of themselves, are fascinatingly written, I can enjoy them. I know I'm likely a minority of one, as Sherlock fandom has embraced this series as All-But-Canon. That's fine; I enjoy them in my own way.

An Act of Charity
The Paradox Suite
The Death and Resurrection of the English Language
Entirely Covered in Your Invisible Name
New Days to Throw Your Chains Away
A Thousand Threads of What-Might-Have-Beens

CAKE AND CHICKEN, PLZ.

(Actually, I'm here to donate access to my own Sherlock rec list, in case people get hungry for MOAR.)

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

CHICKEN IS YUMMY AND THEN YOU HAVE CAKE

Adding rec list to post, because we are INSATIABLE for Sherlock.

(om nom nom)

[irisbleufic.livejournal.com]

Your icon is stupid-cute. Even my n00b husband says so.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

It's so... him, isn't it? I wish I knew more about making movie icons; this doesn't really do what I want it to, but I'll settle for just getting the point across.

*heart*

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

oh, you mean my dolphin! AHAHAHAHHA!

Yes, my dolphin is adorable. And I have another one (used here just to show) for when the Yuletide challenge rolls around.

Ran across a reclist (http://prosodi.livejournal.com/174201.html) by prosodi on my friendsfriends, whose username I vaguely recognize from Hornblower fandom, of "not my kink but these Sherlock ficwriters make it work" stories - from G to NC-17 and many of them quite fascinating character-insights into John and Sherlock.

Copperbadge Sherlock fic! Brewster hath a happy.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Ooh adding rec link!

Sam has already written some Sherlock (was told of a prompt that asked for a fix-it for the ridiculous bit at the end of "Blind Banker"), but the pronz is coming next!

[killabeez.livejournal.com]

I haven't read much of anything yet that wasn't recced to me by you or movies_michelle, but hopefully I'll be adding to this list soon.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

YAY!

[cesperanza.livejournal.com]

YAY THANK YOU FOR POSTING!

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

YAY YOU ARE WELCOME!

[rosa-acicularis.livejournal.com]

This post has officially made my day.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Always pleased when I can make someone's day.

We're British, We Make Tea (http://calapine.livejournal.com/620228.html) by calapine. Post-ep for "The Great Game" involving spot-on characterizations of all the usual suspects, and lashings of tea.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Oh nice!

[deepbluemermaid.livejournal.com]

Here are the 'Sherlock' fics I've greatly enjoyed, thus far:

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Oooooo!

[lilapaddy.livejournal.com]

Oh my dear sweet lawd. I have more links and tabs opened in my browser window than I will be able to make time to read in WEEKS. This fandom is LOVE.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

This fandom is LOVE.

I know, right?!

Also, Basil icon FTW!

[lovelokest.livejournal.com]

I have a delicious set up: http://www.delicious.com/lovelokest/sherlockbbc

I LOVE THIS FANDOM SO MUCH!

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

YAAAAY!

[saburi]

Just wandered by (looking for a vid link of all things), but I've been hunting "Sherlock" fic recs myself for the past two days. I stumbled upon this list last night; hopefully there's plenty of new stuff there for you to read, too. ^_^

http://iamshadow.dreamwidth.org/327991.html

[thandie.livejournal.com]

Just found this. I thought I'd add my rec page - I'm going to update it regularly, so there's a lot of stuff. :) There are all kinds of pairings, not only John/Sherlock.

http://thandie.livejournal.com/176406.html

[yin-again.livejournal.com]

This list makes me happy in my pants heart!

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

My work here is done!

[shezan.livejournal.com]

YOUR RECS ROCK!!!

Been enjoying "And then the darkness" like mad, and ANYTHING written by katieforsythe, even though she writes canon!Holmes (but he now looks like Benedict Cumberbatch to me.)

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Anything I linked from here is BBC Sherlock 2010, so -- can you tell me what katieforsythe story you're referring to?

[shezan.livejournal.com]

It must have been another post of yours. "Four Minor Interludes for the Solo Violin", but then I started back on everything of hers. Apart from the odd teensy non-British wobble (French, too), Ii find her stuff brilliant.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

don't recognize that title - could it have been someone else? Hm.... or I have a case of the dumb. But I'm pretty sure every rec I've ever made for BBC Sherlock 2010 is on this page.

[shezan.livejournal.com]

I was sure it was you! But it's Sherlock-canon - even before the 2009 movie. Brilliant, though. Here (http://katieforsythe.livejournal.com/8561.html).

[rilestar.livejournal.com]

Oh, awesome! A nony just linked me to this rec list, and I'm really looking forward to checking them out - thanks for compiling this list!

[vickita]

Ahahahahaha! Jackpot! You know how people on your f-list will be into some fandom that you're not in, and you see it go by, you smile and wave and feel happy for them that they have a new shiny, but really, it doesn't make a big impression on you because, hey, not your fandom? And then suddenly you get pimped into the fandom, and you're all MUST HAVE FIC! WHERE IS THE PORN? and you regret your earlier folly and say to yourself, "Okay, now, who was it that was into this show?" All you need is a nudge in the right direction...

Thanks for the nudge. *g*

[tzikeh]

LOLHIWELCOME

omg this really really really needs to be updated....

far more updated -

[tzikeh]

This delicious post was imported like, a year ago. Here's the livejournal post that has been updated several times since then:

http://tzikeh.livejournal.com/589141.html

I KNEW I had more recs than were on this page, even though I know I'm still way behind.

I'll be editing this post later....

Re: far more updated -

W00t! thanks!
